Node.js Core Test Runner for npm

library 3.3.0 ·javascript
verified May 27, 2026

This package, `test`, provides a user-land backport of the experimental `node:test` module, originally introduced in Node.js 18. It allows developers to utilize the same standardized testing API in Node.js environments from version 14 and later. The current stable version is 3.3.0, released in early 2023, with subsequent maintenance releases as needed. The project maintains a feature-driven release cadence, closely mirroring updates and enhancements in the core `node:test` module. Its key differentiators include minimal runtime dependencies, a comprehensive test suite to ensure robust compatibility with Node.js core, and the crucial ability to introduce modern `node:test` capabilities to older Node.js versions without requiring core upgrades. Unlike the core implementation, it does not hide its own stack frames, offering slightly different debugging clarity.
